The editors have done an excellent job in putting together this piece of work. </i>Current Issues in International Business<i> contributes a great deal to the field and presents all the important issues that will propel international business research into the 21st century.'</i>
It considers key up-to-date developments in both the theory and practice of international business. After analysing the historical evolution of international business as an academic discipline, the book focuses on its relationship to the other social sciences. New light is shed on current issues and intellectual debates with a view to identifying new directions and future areas of research. The authors then develop the discussion to consider the present globalization of the economy, addressing the strategies of multinationals, the increasingly 'borderless' world and management competition.
The book will be of interest both to scholars and all those concerned with business education.
